Vastu Shastra principles play an important role, not only when it comes to buying a house but also when moving into a residential apartment. We look at the important Vastu aspects that prospective home buyers must consider, before finalising a deal
Vastu Shastra, the ancient science of architecture, is about improving positive energies in a specific space. It applies equally, to people who are going out to buy a plot or a apartment. Vastu Shastra principles, when applied correctly in the living space, ensure physical, spiritual and material well-being. Vastu defects can be corrected, by making changes in the rooms, by applying harmonious colours, by changing the placement of objects or by using regulators and remedies.
External Vastu factors to consider –
While buying a house or apartment, the external environment also plays a crucial role, although one many be occupying the flat only for several months. The location of the property, house/flat and street, are important.
“External forces influence the internal forces in the house to a great extent. While visiting the place, have your spouse/family members accompany you and try to gauge how you feel in the space. Besides the energy, check the ventilation, light and flow of air in the house. In urban cities, most places have mobile or electricity towers. Avoid places that are too close to these towers. Also avoid places that are close to hospitals, graveyards, or too much traffic – in other words, restless environments. If the place makes you uncomfortable or uneasy, it may not suit your energy patterns.

Points to check before moving into a house
One must keep basic things in mind when renting a house. Most importantly, avoid a house with too much Vastu negatives like a toilet in the north-east, or a kitchen in the north-east or south-west zone, or a missing corner in the north-east or south-west of the house. The master bed room should be in the south-west zone.
Colours have vibrations. Hence, opt for lighter shades on the walls and avoid harsh colours and too much of grey or black.
Correcting Vastu defects
For correction of Vastu defects, one can use Vastu harmony paintings, yantra and crystals, to bring tranquility and success. Use symbols like elephants, kuberan crystals, Buddhas and paintings of water bodies, mountains or the sun, as these are considered auspicious.
